The Useful Papaya.
One of tho most useful, tinu yd
least appreciated pirtius in me worm,
is the common Papaya (Caryca P'l-
pnyn). Over this, to ua so well
known tree, the botanists have quar
relled expensively, some saying it is
an old plant, a survival from prehis
toric ages, so to' speak; while some
maintain that it is an entirely new
plant, trying to establish itself.
Again some say that it belongs to
tho Eupliorbiaccne; others maintain,
it is of a class entirely to itself.
Practically the only use of it now

It has been said that the juice con

also of the other parts of the tree.

much derision. It is true nevertheless:
the native? often wrap squids, which
certainly are the acme of tonghness,

iy reduce them to quite a palatable
onderness,
The greatest value of the papaya
lowevcr is as a fodcer for pigs. After
xtensive experiments it has become
virion t, that as a fattener tho rino
fruit is hard to excel. Asa matter
f fact, wo have seen hogs,
A'hieh were fed exclusively ou papa

rations had to be considerably rc-
iuced. On an averacc it will take
vbout twenty trees per head. The

twenty trees ma be considered as'a
jafe estimate.
The great difficulty with planting
papaya trees lies in the fact, that
there are male and femalo as well as
lermanhrodite trees. If the trees
thug are planted one for every fifteen
feet, tho planter is certain to get at
east half tho portion of his trees
nales, and consequently unproduc
live plants. One malo will be found
sufficient for forty females. The bi
sexual trdes are scarcer than cither
jf the monosexual kind. Another
Jravvback in planting comes from
the fact, that the papaya will not
'row true from ssed. If you plant
seed from one of the -larger, oblon
purple variety, you may get trees
with small round fruits, and vice ver
sa. ljiuewise it secu irom a uisexuai
tree is planted, the result will hi
very many cases be either male
alone or femalo alone. Is has there

diameter of about three to four feet
if three or four trees are planted in
each place, tho planter will be able
to select the female trees, just leav
ing enough males to effect the pol-
lenization.
This pian may cost some more
labor, but it will be found to be more

single tree for each space, and sup
porting a large surplus oi unpro
ductive males.
Where papaya growing is done on
a larger scale, for iustanco for feed
ing a piggery, it will be found, that
tapping of the trees will make, them
branch out to an enormous extent,
each fresh branch bearing as plenti
fully as the original top of the tree.
The writer retiiembers to have seen
a tree, treated in this way, having
twenty-seven bearing branches.
Of course this unnatural growth
seriously effecis the longevity of the
tree, it being probable that it will
only live six or seven years: but the
enormous multiple of fruits amolv
pays for the labor of replanting.
Not only is the papaya valuable as
a foodstuff for pigs; it is likewise a
very valuable fodder for chickens
and ducks. This, added to the pala

WA1LUKU, MAUI,
Tho Importance of 1ho following
letter, published in Monday's Adver
tiser, will be patent to all Maui
chicken raisers. Our subscribers are
requested to try the remedy and re
port results to the News.
Editor Advertiser: I have recent
ly learned something in regard .to a
cure for chicken sorehead and seeing
in your paper that Mr. Jarcd Smith
has so far failed to find a remedy, I
will state what I have learned.
My son Robert living on the north
side of M;uina Kea at an elevation of
3,000 feet is running ono of tho larg
est poultry ranches .of chickens,
ducks and turkeys on these Islands.
A few-weeks ago he informed nio
that some of his chickens had been
afflicted with iho swell head and he
has administered to them anewmed-
icine and to his surprise and gratifi
cation, his chicks quickly recovered.
This good news encouraged me to
try tiiis medicine en my chicks, some
of which were badly afflicted with
sore head and blindness. I dosed
them some days ago and as they were
reported as getting better, 1 thought
but httlo about them uutil your
paper reached mo telling of Mr.
Jarcd Smith s endeavor to tinu a
reniedy. .
Then upon examining my chicks I
was sure I saw one with a sorehead;
the rest were lively and kept so far
away I could not telL about them,
but 1 decided to doso them again m
the morning, when to my surprise, a
flock of about twenty that had been
badly afflicted with sorehead and
blindness a few days before were now
all clean and bright about their heads
md eyes except two that still were
afflicted.
This is the medicine:
Water made strong enough with
salt to float an egg, .heat and kept
hot while being used, to tho point of
burning one's finger if left in too long.
Now take the chick, young or old. If
blind remove the scabs from its eyes
nd the larger lumps from its bill,
then clip its wholo head uuder the
water. Don't leave it in long enough
to be iniured by the heat, rub the
head a moment with a rough rag,
and again put its head under the
water as at first, and let it go. The
poor chick receiving this hot pickle
into its throat, its mouth, its eyes,
and its sores, from appearances,, ry i o n.'lJ..,
considersitself done for, but contin- UOniraCLUr Oi DLIllUcl
ues to gap, and as the shock passes
off, it opens its eyes, jumps up and
runs away and in a few hours exhibits
more life than it had done for some
time. In about two days this doctor
ing should bo once repeated.
A neighbor having tried this medi
cine say: "If is not a sure tinng.'
Perhaps Mr. Smith being a practical
scientific man may be able to work
it up and let the wor.J know what
there is iu it. Tt is new here, and
wc propose to know more about it,
